As we enter the 4th week of class, it is time to review our class objectives and determine if you have achieved the objectives that we have covered so far. A couple of questions to help you wrap your head around what you have learned so far.

Can you…

Identify clear objectives using the SMART/ER format?

Describe the purpose & benefits of key project processes & outputs?

Define Scope using a Work Breakdown Structure?

Use a Responsibility Assignment Matrix to identify roles & responsibilities?

Use a communication matrix to identify communication & reporting needs?

List critical scheduling & budget estimating steps & techniques?

If you answered no to any of the questions above, review the slides, re-read the related chapters in PMBOK* and Fast Forward MBA in Project Management, review the templates in the back of your binder and practice the skills.
